Art-Deco whimsy, 1920s-era grandeur and wine hour near Union Square
The Art-Deco era is alive and well at this boutique Hotel Union Square, which was returned to its 1920s grandeur during an exhaustive renovation in 2008. Today, the hotel features signature staircases and opulent moldings, while loft-like guest rooms boast brick walls and mosaic murals. Another benefit: the world's only Dashiell Hammett Suite, named after the author of "The Maltese Falcon." The property is part of the Personality Hotels Collection. It sits mere blocks from the shopping of Union Square.

Nice
Our room wasn't huge, but we fit 4 people into a room with 2 full beds reasonably. The decor was nice, things were clean, the concierge was friendly if not a bit disappointed when we didn't need any of his services. The stay itself was nice.

great location
The Hotel Union Square has a great location and anbiance. The rooms are small, yes, but the value is great. It is a great place to begin your sightseeing tour of San Francisco. The rooms and surroundings are very clean. The bathroom was very charming and spotless. My wife and I will stay there again.

Room just like in pictures...
On Powell Street, so you can indeed hear the cable cars. Plastic, flexible ear plugs are recommended if you don't want this unique urban sound interrupting your sleep. Foam ear plugs are not sufficient. Otherwise, capable, friendly staff, including parking person, plus a delightfully modern room and bathroom. No, this is not a suite, but do you want to spend $60 more for the Westin St. Francis, plus $20 more for parking overnight? Save your cash for other things you enjoy! Remember, the blocks are not very big in this part of San Francisco, and you can easily walk to anywhere at or near Union Square, and to Muni and BART.

Download and print directions to hotel from their website, from whichever direction you are coming from. Use a large font so your co-pilot can help direct you drive right to the parking lot at 80 Ellis Street, at the back door to check-in at the Hotel Union Square.

Wonderful Stay at Hotel Union Square
We were in San Francisco to attend Wonder-con. The hotel was perfect for us. It is a matter of blocks from the Moscone Center so it only took a few minutes to walk to the convention each day. The rooms are true to the pictures. We had a deluxe queen size room with a good size bathroom. The closet was tiny but there was a decent sized dresser for our clothes. Our unit was on the 3rd floor directly on Powell Street. We could hear the cable cars and traffic but only faintly. We really enjoyed our stay!

Short walk from hotel
We had dinner at Farallon on Post which was a short walk. This restaurant is amazing! The food was delicious and the restaurant itself was beyond words. It was designed to look like the restaurant itself is underwater. They even have chandeliers made to look like jellyfish and giant sea urchins. Everywhere you look you are reminded that you are in an underwater fantasy! The service was impeccable! I would recommend this restaurant especially to couples looking for a romantic dinner.

" wow, what an incredible experience"
Staying at the Hotel Union square was a great experience, loved all the modern details in the building, the staff were really great and there to help when needed. The only thing that I did not really enjoy was how loud it was outside all night long, however being in that location made it all worth the overall experience. Yes, I would stay there again, just maybe not along Powell street! Other then that, loved it all! They even have free wine every night between 5-6, can't say many hotels do that!!!

Stayed at this hotel for 10 nights
Stayed at this hotel for 10 nights in late October/early November 2009 with my adult daughter. It was excellent for a central location in San Francisco. The complementary wine was a boost at the end of the day and Tom the concierge was a fount of useful advice and information. It was a surprisingly quiet area at night. If you are a walker, it is an easy 50 minute hike to Fisherman's Wharf. Otherwise the cable car is 2 minutes away. The room was not large, but larger than hotels stayed at in NY. Surprisingly there was no bar fridge in the room - there ice machines in the hallways. Having booked the room over the Net, for its location and standard it was a very good choice. I'd recommend it.
